Printed in U.S.A.
INTRODUCTION
The Shure Model WH30 is a light yet rugged headset microphone. Designed
for vocalists and instrument-playing vocalists, the WH30 utilizes a high quality
electret-condenser cartridge suitable for all applications where mobility,
comfort, low microphone-visibility, and high sound quality are required.
Because of its cardioid (unidirectional) pickup pattern, the WH30 provides
isolation from extraneous sound sources and high gain-before-feedback.
The wireframe and gooseneck adjust to any head size and shape. An
integrated elastic CROAKIES
headband comfortably pads and secures the
headset. The WH30 is supplied with two snap-on windscreens, clothing clip,
storage bag and cable-management device.

COLLAPSIBLE MICROPHONE BOOM
The WH30 headset features a collapsible boom for shipment and storage.
Before wearing the headset, unfold the boom by rotating it away from the
wireframe until it snaps into place. Refold for storage or transportation.
WEARING THE HEADSET
Place the headset wireframe around your head so that the elastic headband
band lay horizontally across the back of your head and the ends of the
wireframe fit over your ears. You may position the elastic headband either
above or below the wireframe for the greatest comfort and stability. The blue
“SHURE” logo should face outward (see Figure 2).
